Have you ever made a craft item suggested on one of those home improvement programs?

For instance, we have a program called Better Homes and Gardens and today the ‘craft’ woman took a perfectly nice sideboard, covered it with plaster and sprayed it silver (AGGH!). Another time she chopped the bottoms of Coke bottles and created (wait for it!) a curtain for over your laundry door!

Not sure anyone would be game to admit they have actually completed one of these projects after my response here but watching it did occur to me, does anyone make any of these things and how have they turned out? Or do you have a friend/relative who makes these things and what do you think of their creations? Be honest, we won’t tell them what you said :-)
